The Directors of Leaf Resources advise that a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed with Norske Skog Industries Australia Ltd to work together to evaluate yields from the Radiata pine using Leaf Resources’ GlycellTM process.
The work will investigate the suitability for conversion of softwood, Radiata Pine, to cellulosic sugars, and the subsequent conversion of those sugars to biomass derived chemicals.
Leaf Resources and Norske Skog will work together to demonstrate the performance of the GlycellTM process on Radiata Pine and the possible future uses of this technology.
Leaf Resources has data from preliminary work with softwood and will further develop this, in the work stages of testing of the GlycellTM process using Radiata Pine at Andritz’s testing facility in Springfield Ohio. (Andritz’s is a leading global supplier of plant, equipment and services for pulp and paper making and other industries).
